Want to triple boot?

[JeremyK]

Well, I can help then!!

The traditional, "ye olde" way of triple (or more) booting was to format your drive, go through disk utility, create the partitions and all that mumbo jumbo...

Then you download a little program called Refit, which I can never get to work.

Because of the non-working Refit, I had to make up my own way.
And you DONT need to format!!

Say, you have a max, with OS X, no other partitions. A nice an easy, legal, safe way to put 3 operating systems on your computer is to follow these steps.

Say you want: Mac (50GB) | Windows (32GB) | Linux (10GB)

Step 1: Partition your hard drive WITH BOOTCAMP!!, select 42GB for Windows.
Step 2: BEFORE YOU INSTALL WINDOWS, download another OS (Ubuntu, Fedora, FreeBSD, NetBSD, whatever) and store the "Boot" folder, or any setup.exe files or junk like that onto a USB drive. Store the rest of the setup on a DVD or CD (pref: DVD)
Step 3: Install Windows on the partition we made earlier
Step 4: Plug in your flash drive and your DVD, restart into Windows.
Step 5: IF windows asks you to boot from the USB or DVD, you can, if not, keep following.
Step 6: Boot into Windows again, and go into your flash drive, if you have Linux Ubuntu from the Linux website like me, your flash drive should contain the CONTENTS of the .iso file you downloaded. This includes a file calle wubi.exe, open that, it will install off the DVD.

HEADS UP: your mac might go a bit spastic, but installation should go through. IT DOESNT HURT ANYTHING IF YOU TURN YOUR MAC OFF IF IT HAS FROZEN. Keep at it, I got mine (updated and all) on the 2nd try.

Go through the setup process and your done.

If this is hard to follow, I'll publish a full PDF isntruction manual soon...

Trust me, the end result is fantastic.

Okay, cheers!!

Okay, some of the above needs a bit of editing, so I will get that PDF out soon I hope, follow that!
